The local companies have been lax because they had the market to themselves with everybody watching and copying (especially Apple and Taiwan). Then there is the wah, if you’re Japanese then you know what I mean. Foreign companies now rely on the strength of a couple of big brothers to control the mobile market worldwide, this is a good way to eliminate the competition including the smaller and minor companies who has done nothing wrong but manage on their own in local markets.

Nokia and Ericsson have dominated long enough, it wasn’t that they couldn’t survive in Japan at the time but they were nowhere near as good (1 line of text, monochrome, highly radioactive etc).

Apple hit the spot with the iPod because they saw how complex local DAPs were and created something that was so simple to use. Also Sony was not willing to jump onto the MP3 bandwagon until much later which created their downfall (and among other things).

Japan can certainly do better than that.

But in internet browsing and games etc. did they enhance it? or did they do or add some other features that can’t be found in the international smartphone? that why the Japanese customer will not buy the local brands itself it is lack of many things… think twice see each their specifications, features, etc… and you will find out and I’m also Japanese but I hate the local brand because of what I have said earlier and I’m using HTC Nexus One Android Smartphone…

Daimaou - G-A.GMon, 13 Dec 2010 23:05:04 +0000http://www.akihabaranews.com/?p=77149#comment-81562Nokia tried several years ago, but what they introduces was so “behind” compare to Japanese phones that they quickly had to move away from Japan. Apple Succeed for several reasons, first I am sure that somehow they convinced the right person, but Apple also had a huge advantage here, since it was at the time the number one in DAP sales, the iPhone 3G also bringer many new features that no other Japanese handset had, real games, nice screen, multitouch, real Email client and real Web browser.

Also Japanese and the “Elitist” Mac culture match well, Japanese love to belong to a en Elitist Group and love beautiful design, Apple and the iPhone 3G bringer that as well.

Despite everything it was said at the time I knew Apple will get its chance here, and if you look around you in the Subway in Tokyo (No true in other cities I believe) you will see iPhone 3GS and 4 everywhere around you.

I wonder how Apple managed to get their foot in the door of this private club?
